Medal of Bravery

On February 12, 2012, William Marshall and paramedic Brad Smith were instrumental in the rescue of a man whose snowmobile had broken through the ice on Calabogie Lake, in Calabogie, Ontario. Mr. Marshall managed to hold on to the victim for over an hour before Mr. Smith arrived in a small canoe to render assistance. Although Mr. Smith fell into the water in his attempt to help, all three were rescued by firefighters and by others who pulled them to shore.
